Dunhill pot question

[OzPiper]

Don't ever underestimate tsipouro
I was ready to toss the Chacom in the fireplace. The taste was so awful. Impossible to smoke it anymore.
I cleaned it many times with tsipouro and let it rest for a couple of days.
Well, yesterday night I had the best smoke ever. Of course I was smoking (sipping) dry and very slow as well.

I have found that with “dirty pipes” bowls/chambers are usually not the main problem area.
Rather is is the shanks, mortise and stems. I often spend a lot more time and effort on these areas than getting rid of chamber ghosts.

If I missed it my apologies but usually when I start tasting sour during a smoke I run a pipe cleaner through the stem once or twice to get rid of the moisture and that does the trick. I also run a cleaner through the pipe after I’m done. Once or twice a year I’ll deep clean my pipes and use a pipe cleaner dipped in bourbon.

Anyways good luck!

Slow undoubtedly best.

A relentless poster on the Christian board maintains that the taste of the tobacco is overruled by the taste of the pipe, by all the deposits in the bowl, stem and shank. He advocated deep cleaning a pipe only when the deposits close the airway.

I'm really not getting this.
Dunhill withdrew from the pipe tobacco market, but Dunhill Pot is OK?
Really?

In my experience the age and quality of the briar used has more to do with how well a pipe smokes than size or chamber shape.

I cannot imagine Dunhill releasing a really bad smoker.

After all is said and done it’s a chunk of carved wood on a hard rubber stick.

You are paying mostly for artistic shaping and beauty, and it’s worth it.

Five or ten years from now you won’t sit on a stump and cry because you bought the best pipe in the world, by reputation.

I’m not familiar with that board and to each their own when cleaning up their pipes.

Don't ever underestimate tsipouro

If it’s straight tsipouro that would be ok, if it’s flavored, then it could ghost.

Test with a low and high proof alcohol to clean the carbon off a lighter, as an example.The higher proof should strip away the carbon easier/faster.

Whatever you use, make sure it’s not flavored.

There are two kinds of tsipouro. I drink only not flavored.
I noticed that this dunhill pipe performs best with the tobacco bone dry. It is my first non filter pipe. My pipes with filters seem to be more forgiving.
